My lab at Penn is hiring at all levels! We have posted a Research Specialist position on Careers@Penn (link below), and we are also actively looking for postdocs and graduate students. If you're interested in the science of sleep and neurodegeneration, please consider joining us!

Excited to share our work by exceptional postdoc, Kyungdeok (KD) Kim. 2025 marks 10th anniversary of meningeal lymphatic discovery and I can’t be happier celebrating it with this work addressing how lymphatic dysfunction leads to cognitive deficits || Meningeal

RORγt+ DCs are key to maintaining intestinal immune balance and preventing inappropriate immune responses to food antigens The Colonna Lab Cell Patrick Rodrigues cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Excited to share that our work by Patrick Rodrigues and Tong Wu is published in Cell: RORγt+ DCs are required to induce oral tolerance. Their absence reduces pTregs and impairs oral tolerance to dietary antigens. Read more: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…
